Platform dependant files sould be able to live without root files

[Heliodromel]

Let's say that i have only three files in my project :

• test-ios-prod.js
• test-prod.js
• TestApi.js

The two first files are doing the job, the last one is only an api for external modules. Only the last file is exposed to the world. In TestApi.js, i have something like :

var test = require("./test.js");

The test.js file doesn't exist in my project, i only have specifics. Indeed, my dimensions are :

• prod, test and dev
• ios and android

Now, if i build the project with browserify, i will get an error :

gulp.task("withBrowserify", ["clean"], function() {
    return browserify({
        entries: paths.entryPoint
    })
    .transform(platformify
              .filter(["prod", "dev", "test"]))
              .filter(["ios", "android"])
    .bundle()
    .pipe(source(paths.outputFile))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.build));
});

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
Error: Cannot find module './test.js' from '../gulp-plateform-file/test/files'

This library should be able to handle specific files with no root file.

We should probably use the browserify tools to create a require transform so that we could analyze the require and change the imports before they are actually done by browserify

It is fixed for the gulp task. Now we process the specific file even if you don't have the base file without tokens.

A babel plugin has been created to handle this when working with babel + browserify or babel alone. There is no support though for browserify only.
